 South Korea is using a $13.7 billion arms deal with Poland, Seoul's biggest ever, to lay the groundwork for an industrial juggernaut that the two nations' defense companies hope will feed Europe's hungry military market far into the future. South Korea's dramatic increase in global arms sales, jumping to more than $17 billion in 2022, compared to $7.25 billion the year before, according to its defense ministry, became as Western countries scramble to arm Ukraine's intentions rise in other hotspots such as North Korea, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea. South Korean and Polish officials say their partnership will help them conquer the European arms market even beyond the Ukraine war, with Seoul providing high-quality weapons faster than other countries and Poland offering manufacturing capacity and a sales pipeline into Europe. Actually, the Korean government is very focused on the export of the Korean companies such as K-2 and K-9, Chamu, etc. We decided to provide technology to Poland by using the Polish defense industry's capability. We can jointly export and manufacture the weapons system and then export those weapons systems to nearby countries. Obviously, the outbreak of the Russian war invaded the Ukraine, and after that we get lots of requests from the Polish government for K-2 tank and K-9 hoitzers and FA-50. Country's interest in South Korea's offer may only grow considering the limited production capacity of Germany's defense industry, which is a major arms supplier in the region. And for example, in 2018, Hungary has ordered 44 Leopard tanks from Germany, and so far none has been delivered. I think the assertive stance of the Polish industry stems also from failed projects over the past 25-30 years involving American or European partners, which yielded limited benefits for the Polish defense sector. Another issue, another challenge, is the different organizational cultures of companies from Poland to South Korea.
